Simplify the expression by combining like terms -2x + 3 (2x-2)+4

Hatshy [7]

Use substitution.

anywhere you see "a" , than you would plug in b + 2 in for it so....

(b - (b + 2)^4

now take the negative sign and distribute it "+"

so b - b is 0, than 0 - (-2) is -2.

so what is (-2)^4 ????? it would become positive 16

A strand of bacteria has a doubling time of 15 minutes. If the population starts with 10 organisms, how long would it take for t

slamgirl [31]

In 90 minutes the population to grow to 700 organisms.

Given that,

A strand of bacteria has a doubling time of 15 minutes.

If the population starts with 10 organisms.

We have to determine,

How long would it take for the population to grow to 700 organisms?

According to the question,

A strand of bacteria has a doubling time of 15 minutes.

If the population starts with 10 organisms.

In 15 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 10 organisms.

$\rm = 10 \times 2 = 20 \ bacteria$

In 15 minutes 20 bacteria for the population to grow.

In 30 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 20 organisms.

$\rm = 20 \times 2 = 40 \ bacteria$

In 30 minutes 40 bacteria for the population to grow.

In 45 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 40 organisms.

$\rm = 40 \times 2 = 80 \ bacteria$

In 45 minutes 80 bacteria for the population to grow.

In 60 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 80 organisms.

$\rm = 80 \times 2 = 160 \ bacteria$

In 60 minutes 160 bacteria for the population to grow.

In 75 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 160 organisms.

$\rm = 160 \times 2 = 320 \ bacteria$

In 75 minutes 320 bacteria for the population to grow.

In 90 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 320 organisms.

$\rm = 320 \times 2 = 640 \ bacteria$

In 90 minutes 640 bacteria for the population to grow.

In 120 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 640 organisms.

$\rm = 640 \times 2 = 1280 \ bacteria$

In 120 minutes 1280 bacteria for the population to grow.

Hence, In 90 minutes the population to grow to 700 organisms.

3(x + 4) = 27 what is x

Alla [95]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple equation if you look at it right and don't get scared by the "x."

All we need to do is figure out what times 3 = 27. We can do this easily by diving 27 by 3.

27 ÷ 3 = 9

Since our "equation" is 3(x + 4) = 27 we know whatever is in the parenthesis () has to equal to 9. We already get 4 so:

5 + 4 = 9.

3 times 9 = 27.

5 is your answer.

Hope this helps and have a nice day!

PS if you could mark brainliest that'd be great! I'm very close the "expert" rank. Haha, sorry I usually don't ask.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there !

trucks/cars = 2/3 = x/9 = 30/y

x = 2×9/3 = 18/3 = 6

y = 3×30/2 = 90/2 = 45

Good luck !
